VPS Hosting Server is an alternative for shared hosting as well as dedicated hosting. It has the mutual benefits of dedicated as well as shared hosting and cuts out the disadvantages of both. VPS Hosting Server offers the control similar to that of a dedicated server plan and affordability like a shared hosting plan.

VPS hosting is in fact the bridge connecting initial entry level web hosting and its co-location. However the former will offer you services like MySQL/PHP which will come with a specified disk space on a shared server while on the other hand the latter will help you avail and control the system hardware while just renting a connection from the internet along with rack space from the same data center. Now if your purse is restricting your choice of co-location hosting then VPS is the answer for you. It will let you use quality service and that too at a bare minimal rate.

A virtual private server, abbreviated as VPS, is a type of virtualization that enables a virtual server, which is a shared resource and not a dedicated server, to work and act as if it were a dedicated server. Each VPS has its own disk space, bandwidth, CPU allocation, memory, and operating system. It is also called a virtual dedicated server (VDS). VPS hosting bridges the gap between shared hosting and dedicated hosting services, and is cheaper than dedicated hosting. VPS hosting services are based on monthly or yearly charges. VPS hosting is not a scalable solution. Some anti-virus and firewall software doesn't function properly in VPS environment, and often there is a limit on disk space, processor time, and RAM.

While VPS hosting is still a favorite among some users, more tech savvy people are jumping on the cloud bandwagon. Cloud hosting is an extremely effective and efficient computing process. Cloud hosting allows you to set up or upgrade a server very quickly and automatically. With cloud hosting technology, you can add, delete, upgrade (when you need more computing power), or downgrade servers on-demand, and you pay only for what you use. Cloud hosting is becoming an industry favorite, as its dynamic solutions offer users the convenience of on-demand, fully scalable computing and data storage services at lower costs. Cloud hosting offers numerous other benefits including enhanced security provided by the servers unknown location. It is financially more appealing to small and mid-size companies, and offers pay-as-you-grow mode of doing business.
